Why is glass brittle

Chemistry
1 answer:
WITCHER [35]3 years ago
6 0
Glass doesn't contain planes of atoms that can slip past each other, so there is no way to relieve stress. It has many microscopic cracks that act as seeds for fracture. It’s molecular structure is composed of tetrahedral crystals so it ruptured easily under stress

Balance the following reaction:
miv72 [106K]

 The balanced reaction is   as below

3A₂B  + 2DC₃→ 6 AC  + D₂B₃


The number that must be  to the left of AC   is 6

 Explanation

  • According to the law  of mass  conservation , the number of atoms in reactant side   must be equal  to number  to the number of atoms  in  product  side.
  • Therefore the equation above is balance  since  it obey the law of mass conservation.
  • For example there is 6 atoms  of A in reactant side and  6 in product side.

if 11.74 liters of gas at STP are pumped into a basketball, how many moles of gas are in the basketball? assume the basketball w
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

0.52 mol

Explanation:

Using the general gas equation formula:

PV = nRT

Where;

P = pressure (atm)

V = volume (Liters)

n = number of moles (mol)

R = gas law constant (0.0821 Latm/molK)

T = temperature (K)

At STP (standard temperature and pressure), temperature of a gas is 273K, while its pressure is 1 atm

Using PV = nRT

n = PV/RT

n = (1 × 11.74) ÷ (0.0821 × 273)

n = 11.74 ÷ 22.41

n = 0.52 mol

There are 0.52 moles in the basketball
